:00:37. > :00:40.of the Premier League, the pressure's mounting!
:00:41. > :00:44.It's a must-win for Moyes and co against Burnley.

:00:51. > :01:01.mastermind Boro's fightback against Mourinho's Man United?
:01:02. > :01:04.He was spotted driving an open-top car on a busy road, while standing
:01:05. > :01:13.But when six foot six Adam Elliott was stopped by police,
:01:14. > :01:16.he claimed he was just too tall for the vehicle - and said

:01:44. > :01:46.message from the police tonight though is that what he did was
:01:47. > :01:50.dangerous and therefore it is anything but funny.
:01:51. > :01:53.He's either standing up, or he's sitting on the back

:02:11. > :02:19.I wasn't standing up in the car, that didn't happen. But I was too
:02:20. > :02:22.tall for the car, and obviously that caused a distraction to other road
:02:23. > :02:25.users, and it's wrong, isn't it? The judge said that
:02:26. > :02:36.was total nonsense. Even in the words of Elliott's
:02:37. > :02:42.oboist, this was an act of complete buffoonery. The judge said it was
:02:43. > :02:48.something a driver might try in the middle of a farmer's field, not in
:02:49. > :02:56.the middle of a dual carriageway. It's very unusual, this, the fact
:02:57. > :03:00.that he's too tall to drive -- he's being picked on because he's too
:03:01. > :03:01.tall. It's a decision that he deliberately made.
:03:02. > :03:04.Elliott was less keen to speak to the media afterwards -
:03:05. > :03:07.sprinting from the court where he'd been given a nine-month prison
:03:08. > :03:10.sentence, suspended for 18 months and disqualified for two years.

:03:22. > :03:31.He does have a long list of previous convictions, he's been locked up
:03:32. > :03:35.before. He's been done 13 times for being -- driving while banned. The

:04:23. > :04:26.from serious head injuries, Sheila Dixon from multiple injuries.

:04:29. > :04:31.Hayley's then three-year-old son Logan also suffered serious

:07:00. > :07:06.But things have really moved on, much of it due to bowel cancer
:07:07. > :07:12.screening. This new hub will look after more than a million people --
:07:13. > :07:17.patients. The person opening the centre today certainly believes his
:07:18. > :07:27.life was saved through that early detection. The former Newcastle,
:07:28. > :07:32.Sunderland and Scotland football captain will never forget how cancer
:07:33. > :07:37.claimed the life of his rival England captain Bobby Moore. I
:07:38. > :07:41.remembered this article and I thought, that is Bobby Moore,
:07:42. > :07:47.captain of England, doing a Scotsman a favour. So I went to the doctor
:07:48. > :07:53.and found out I had lung cancer as well. So I have him to thank for
:07:54. > :07:57.still being here. His message to other is don't ignore symptoms or
:07:58. > :08:02.the chance for early detection. I tell people of my era that when you
:08:03. > :08:08.get these tests, you have to be mad not to do it. 50,000 letters are now
:08:09. > :08:12.posted from the centre every week to those over 60, letters and screening
:08:13. > :08:16.packs which give millions the chance to be diagnosed and treated before
:08:17. > :08:23.it is too late. If you are picked up before you develop symptoms, you
:08:24. > :08:26.have got a much better outcome. Whereas if you waited until symptoms
:08:27. > :08:30.developed, the outcome is not as good. We would therefore encourage
:08:31. > :08:35.people to get the test done and sent it back in the post. For Carol,
:08:36. > :08:40.sending a little sample saved her life. I don't feel ill, and I think
:08:41. > :08:43.if it wasn't for the test, I probably would have waited until I
:08:44. > :08:50.felt ill before I went to the doctor. It would have been too late
:08:51. > :08:55.then. But don't wait for the screening pack if you do have any
:08:56. > :09:01.symptoms, such as blood in your stools, a change in bowel movements
:09:02. > :09:06.or weight loss. Two trainee doctors
:09:07. > :09:08.from Newcastle are back home, after setting up the first clinic

:09:33. > :09:36.that was born without a leg. He was a very small boy,
:09:37. > :09:44.and this is because he hasn't had the stimulation from being able

:09:49. > :09:53.LANGUAGE The trainee doctors saw dozens
:09:54. > :10:00.of patients during their trip. Being an amputee in that kind
:10:01. > :10:02.of environment is extremely difficult, and a lot of the people
:10:03. > :10:05.have very hard lives. We're just scraping
:10:06. > :10:13.the surface of this problem. Overall, in the entire country,
:10:14. > :10:16.there are thousands and thousands of people who are in need
:10:17. > :10:18.of a service like this. Back on Tyneside, the pair raised

:14:38. > :14:39.is creating 30 new jobs, taking its workforce
:14:40. > :14:41.to more than 300. But the boss here still has gaps
:14:42. > :14:44.in his workforce; skills shortages that he would like a new mayor
:14:45. > :14:53.to address at a very early stage. We need to get a little bit more

:15:37. > :15:42.and Pete Shippey's eldest son Nathan struggled to watch matches
:15:43. > :15:44.at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland was the first club
:15:45. > :15:47.in the country to open one - and now Middlesbrough
:15:48. > :15:49.has followed suit. Joanne Carter has been
:15:50. > :16:02.to find out more. Nathan's mum and dad are on a
:16:03. > :16:07.mission to create sensory rooms at all sports grounds in the UK and
:16:08. > :16:13.around the world. 18 months ago Sunderland opened one of the Stadium
:16:14. > :16:18.of Light. It's named after the eldest of their three sons. All are
:16:19. > :16:27.autistic, all of football mad and all can now watch the beautiful game
:16:28. > :16:31.in a safe space. The overstimulation, the noisy speakers,
:16:32. > :16:36.the people around you shouting, and when the game kicks off, the roar of
:16:37. > :16:40.the crowds... People shouting our players. A very unpredictable
:16:41. > :16:46.environment. And can't handle it, it's too much. They've set up a
:16:47. > :16:49.charity to spread the word, and the football world seems to be
:16:50. > :16:54.listening. Middlesbrough is the latest club to take up their idea.
:16:55. > :16:58.Five clubs are doing it now, it's tremendous what they're doing now.
:16:59. > :17:06.And it's fantastic, the room they've built here. I'm hoping in the coming
:17:07. > :17:10.years, many fans will be able to come and enjoy the game, open a door
:17:11. > :17:14.that was previously shut to them. It's different to what they've got
:17:15. > :17:19.at Sunderland, it doesn't overlook the pitch, but it gives the same
:17:20. > :17:22.environment which is good. It has enough space for 12 guests, and
:17:23. > :17:31.anybody wanting to use it needs to contact the club. Great idea! And
:17:32. > :17:33.brings us nicely onto the sport. A big weekend for football.

:17:52. > :18:05.Enter the caretaker. But is he stop gap or saviour?
:18:06. > :18:09.It's obvious we need to score a goal.
:18:10. > :18:19.I see myself as being a creative coach, and slowly but surely I know
:18:20. > :18:20.that I am capable of drip feeding ideas into the group that will pay

:18:23. > :18:24.newspaper, chairman Steve Gibson expressed complete faith
:18:25. > :18:26.in his stand-in. But does Steve Agnew want
:18:27. > :18:39.the job permamently? All I want to do is prepare the team
:18:40. > :18:43.for Sunday. I know it's an obvious answer, but that is as much as is on
:18:44. > :18:48.my mind at that moment in time. -- this moment in time. If all goes
:18:49. > :18:53.well, he's got these 11 games to show he can do the job in the long
:18:54. > :18:55.term. It's about changing perceptions, isn't it?
:18:56. > :18:57.In the same interview, Gibson also revealed
:18:58. > :18:59.Karanka wasn't sacked - he "sacrificed himself" for the sake
:19:00. > :19:04.of a team seemingly in freefall since the start of the year.
:19:05. > :19:08.Agnew, who was in temporary charge a year ago for a game
:19:09. > :19:19.against Charlton, wasted no time in reshaping his backroom team -
:19:20. > :19:21.reports say three backroom staff are on their way out.
:19:22. > :19:30.He's worked at the highest level, with Harry Redknapp for a long, long
:19:31. > :19:34.time, and I've kept in touch with him. Joe is somebody who I trust,
:19:35. > :19:37.and he will have a big impact with the players.
:19:38. > :19:40.Well, Aitor Karanka's departure means five of the Premier League's
:19:41. > :19:42.bottom six clubs have now changed their manager or head coach
:19:43. > :19:52.But David Moyes knows the pressure will be cranked up another notch
:19:53. > :19:55.if the Black Cats don't see off Burnley tomorrow, at
:19:56. > :19:59.When you're in desperate need of points to stay in touch
:20:00. > :20:02.with the rest of the relegation pack, a visit from the only team yet
:20:03. > :20:10.to win a Premier League away game is a mixed blessing.
:20:11. > :20:13.So will the Sunderland boss try to play it cool tomorrow -
:20:14. > :20:17.or tell his players EXACTLY what's at stake?
:20:18. > :20:25.Sometimes you have to say yes, it's a really important game. But there
:20:26. > :20:31.are other games to come as well. Every game's important, and getting
:20:32. > :20:36.three points in this we will be a real boost. But the supporters here
:20:37. > :20:40.are used to it, and so are many of the players. They've used their
:20:41. > :20:43.experience in the past; lets hope they can do it again.
:20:44. > :20:44.Injuries have blighted Sunderland's season.
:20:45. > :20:47.So the news that German midfielder Jan Kirchoff will be out
:20:48. > :20:49.for at least a month - having been on the brink
:20:50. > :20:52.of a comeback - really shouldn't come as a shock.
:20:53. > :20:54.Certainly not as big a surprise as Jermain Defoe's recall
:20:55. > :20:58.What Moyes would really love is for some of the striker's
:20:59. > :21:00.team-mates to shoulder the burden of scoring the goals
:21:01. > :21:10.Earlier in the season we couldn't get other people to score goals. At
:21:11. > :21:14.Crystal Palace, we did that day, but no, we need to find other ways of
:21:15. > :21:18.getting goals from other departments. It's a boost to
:21:19. > :21:23.Jermaine as well, because we need his goals, we need more goals. So
:21:24. > :21:27.hopefully it will give the whole club a lift. The supporters love him
:21:28. > :21:30.here, so I'm sure they will give him a good clap before the game.
:21:31. > :21:32.Newcastle United will be without Ciaran Clark
:21:33. > :21:34.and DeAndre Yedlin for the game against Birmingham City
:21:35. > :21:36.at St Andrew's tomorrow, but Paul Dummett will feature.
:21:37. > :21:43.And they might be pleased to be back on their travels!
:21:44. > :21:46.After three good results on the road, Newcastle's home defeat
:21:47. > :21:50.to Fulham last weekend was particularly disappointing
:21:51. > :21:53.The Magpies are still top of the Championship on goal
:21:54. > :21:56.difference, but Brighton are level on points and Huddersfield
:21:57. > :22:00.So last weekend's defeat might not have been such a bad thing,
:22:01. > :22:06.if it stops complacency from creeping in.
:22:07. > :22:19.When you do so well against Brighton and Huddersfield town and then you
:22:20. > :22:22.go against reading and you do well, it is maybe a wake-up call to make
:22:23. > :22:28.sure that everybody is on their toes. The key is confidence. We know
:22:29. > :22:33.that every game until the end will be very difficult, and we have to be
:22:34. > :22:35.sure that we don't play with an overconfidence in any game.
:22:36. > :22:37.In League Two, after stopping the rot against Luton midweek,
:22:38. > :22:40.Carlisle need three points away at Mansfield to try to close
:22:41. > :22:43.BBC Radio Cumbria will have commentary of that one,
:22:44. > :22:46.and you can listen to a resurgent Hartlepool take on Wycombe
:22:47. > :22:50.And two of our teams have a great chance of making it
:22:51. > :22:54.York City have a one-goal advantage going into the second leg
:22:55. > :22:56.of the FA Trophy semifinal against National League leaders
:22:57. > :23:01.Lincoln, but it'll be a tough trip to Sincil Bank.
:23:02. > :23:04.And South Shields are also a goal up against Coleshill Town,
:23:05. > :23:06.for the sell-out second leg of the FA Vase semifinal
:23:07. > :23:18.Let's hope it's a good weekend for them both.
:23:19. > :23:21.Britain's biggest cycle race is returning to the North East
:23:22. > :23:23.in September, following the success of its last visit two years ago.
:23:24. > :23:26.The Tour of Britain, which will also go to Cumbria, is
:23:27. > :23:29.expected to have its usual start in Scotland, while stage two
:23:30. > :23:31.sees the peleton ride from Kielder to Blyth,
:23:32. > :23:36.with much of the route focused on the Northumberland National Park.
:23:37. > :23:37.Premiership rugby club Newcastle Falcons has
:23:38. > :23:39.a new partnership with Newcastle University.
:23:40. > :23:40.The three-year collaboration will create placement
:23:41. > :23:42.opportunities for students, as well as allowing
:23:43. > :23:47.the University's rugby teams to play at Kingston Park.
:23:48. > :23:50.In return, the Falcons will have use of the University's expert medical
:23:51. > :24:06.It's a great opportunity, the way the sport's moving, to tap into the
:24:07. > :24:12.tremendous resource and talent, and being able to understand further the
:24:13. > :24:15.sports science, that Newcastle University are involved in, and
:24:16. > :24:20.their sports and science programme are of huge benefit going forward to
:24:21. > :24:23.what we could do with our athletes. We would hope to attract elite
:24:24. > :24:28.sportsmen who are looking for that combination of a great sports career
:24:29. > :24:33.but also a strong academic career. And they have a perfect here, they
:24:34. > :24:38.come to work for a world leading club and a fantastic university.
:24:39. > :24:45.From the sport to the weather. Bit damp in the north-east, even damper
:24:46. > :24:51.the Northwest. Very wet, very windy in parts of
:24:52. > :24:55.Cumbria especially. Take a look at today's weather picture. The
:24:56. > :25:01.Yorkshire coast there earlier in the day, further north though these
:25:02. > :25:06.Northumberland lambs looked like they are enjoying a bit of sunshine,
:25:07. > :25:11.some brief brighter spells. As we had through the rest of the weekend
:25:12. > :25:15.it is more of the same in that there will be further rain. The worst will
:25:16. > :25:20.be in the West. It will always tend to be a bit drier and brighter at
:25:21. > :25:24.times in the east, and the wind will come and go at times. It will pick
:25:25. > :25:29.up later in the weekend. Tonight we've got a lot of cloud around,
:25:30. > :25:34.still some heavy rain as well, and through the night gradually the rain
:25:35. > :25:40.will start to Peter that, in many places will end the night on a
:25:41. > :25:46.drying out. The East will see the lowest temperatures, down to about
:25:47. > :25:50.five Celsius. Temperatures under these cloudier skies, sticking at
:25:51. > :25:56.about eight or nine further west. So that takes us into tomorrow, and
:25:57. > :26:00.it's a mostly dry stored. They'll be decent bright spells in the morning
:26:01. > :26:04.in the east, but again the cloud will turn to spill in as we go
:26:05. > :26:08.through the day, and there will be rain at times during the afternoon.
:26:09. > :26:13.But it will be nowhere near as heavy or extensive as today, and again it
:26:14. > :26:16.is used in areas that hang on to the best of the drier weather even a
:26:17. > :26:27.thick clouds over during the afternoon. Temperatures up on
:26:28. > :26:29.today's figures, peaking at around about 12 Celsius tomorrow, and the
:26:30. > :26:32.wind still coming in from the west or south-west, but nowhere near as
:26:33. > :26:35.strong or dusty as today. So that's tomorrow; as we had through the
:26:36. > :26:39.weekend, the same old weather front wriggles its way in from the
:26:40. > :26:42.Atlantic, bringing spells of wet and windy weather at times before it
:26:43. > :26:48.finally clears away to the south as we head into the new week -- working
:26:49. > :26:52.week, and then we are into a westerly feed of sunshine and
:26:53. > :26:55.scattered showers as we head through Monday and Tuesday. Cooler as well
:26:56. > :26:59.as we had through the next week. In the meantime, rain in the west The
:27:00. > :27:04.Times tomorrow, generally drier further east but a fair amount of
:27:05. > :27:09.cloud especially in the afternoon. Yes, breezy, but nowhere near as
:27:10. > :27:13.gusty as today. Sunday, more rain at times, again Western areas bearing
:27:14. > :27:20.the brunt, but I think eastern areas will see rain at times. Temperatures
:27:21. > :27:24.up the shade again, but the West to south-westerly winds strong and
:27:25. > :27:27.dusty again on Sunday. Then we're back to sunshine and showers as we
:27:28. > :27:33.head into next week. I was just going to say, when is the
:27:34. > :27:35.sun coming back! Maybe next week. That's it, have a great weekend.
:27:36. > :27:45.We'll see you on Monday. Goodbye. It was the most beautiful view
:27:46. > :27:52.I've ever been through. For one second, I was swimming on my
:27:53. > :27:57.back, and I was looking to the sky. I was swimming across
:27:58. > :28:03.the Aegean Sea. I was a refugee,
:28:04. > :28:18.going from Syria to Germany. This is my life, my career!
:28:19. > :28:20.I did not frame him.
